    Well to wait, you have some choices. The most straight forward is aqUtills.Delay... But one thing I have done in the past to wait to see if a state changes is



    Do While True



        If <whatever state indicates I can stop waiting> then

            Log.Message ... whatwever I might want to sya

            Exit Do '' restart here maybe?

        else

            aqUtils.Delay 3000, "Waiting to test state again"

        end if



    Loop

    From what you ask what you need is a timeout not a delay. What kind of action are you doing?
